Halloween art show at the Tonga Hut October 31--4pm to ?

That Tiki painting turned out nice, Kirbs.

GROG has stuff firing in the kiln right now. Fingers crossed it all turns out OK, especially the hand-made ?-O-Lantern.

I hope Grog's Jack-O-Lantern turns out too, Looks great so far, Here is our last art item for the art show, " Bathing in Death " bowl, This seductive witch loves to bath in her witches couldron, I think it turned out pretty cool!

We will have some cool tiki items too, Plus 10 limied " Skull " mugs and 2 limited " Franken-Stein " mugs for just $15 bucks each!

Thanks Grog and Tonga Hut for the invite, Gogo and Dani

more pics. Here -->

all the work is looking great! My father is in the hospital so i am now near Loma Linda and will have to back out of the show. Hope everyone has a blast and hopefully see you all at the next one.

Very cool work by all! And Thor, that first one reminds me of the creature from Trilogy Of Terror which haunted my youth for many days after first seeing it!

HAAA Yah.. That one IS...a Halloween tribute on velvet to the Zuni Fetish Doll from "Trilogy of Terror"..it has lil'jewel eyes that reflect light and really comes to life... See you tonight.

TRILOGY OF TERROR!
CLASSIC!
Nice One Thor!

Nice stuff Tom.

Sorry you couldn't make it to the show Cass. GROG hope your father will be OK.

Looks like the "BOB"-O-Lantern survived. GROG worried about some of the orange underglaze. Some of it flaked off in the bisque firing, but GROG touched it up and it seems to be on in the glaze firing. GROG would like to hit it with another layer of clear and fire again, but GROG still bringing it to the art show. The problem was it still had too much moisture before the bisque fire. Didn't have time for it to dry out enough before the first fire.

Werewolf of NoHo!

Just want to throw my two bits into the mix and say great work to all involved...

The art being offered up is fantastic and really ups the ante for me - I'm really diggin on all of it.

Can't make the scene tonight so I'm there in spirit. Happy Halloween, Tiki Peeps. G

Great show tonight, lotsa great stuff, great people, great drinks and they were flowing!

Thanks GROG, Kelly and Jeremy!! (~~)

The Art Show at Tonga Hut on Halloween was the kick off to the Holiday Season. Great music, drinks , and especially to the artist that were there and the quality of all the art work. Best thing was seeing old friends and talking to everyone.

Bummed I missed it. Just wanted to thank Dave's Not Home and Squid for getting Sleestak's and my art up there. Very cool of you both.

Amazing art and awesome people!!!

The Trilogy of Terror is one of my favorites!!! Awesome Velvets....WOW!

Invoice is in the mail :D

Oh love Manuel's Bali Hai costume and Jason/Grog your work looked awesome.

Hope there are more pics floating around..i really wanted to come down for this.

Was Marty dressed as a Lush? Um..not much of a stretch there fella!

Great looking art from everyone! GROG, nice looking Punkin Bob (I've been having problems with underglaze flaking off too!)

This on the left is the scariest costume I've EVER seen! :o (far right isn't much better but the one in the middle is beautiful :) )

Yep, Danni looked great in her costume.

Claudette was cute in her sexy cop outfit and she danced all night. GROG not sure where she gets the energy.She should dress as the Energizer Bunny.

Thanks to all the artists for knocking out some killer art for the Halloween art show. It'll be hanging in the Tonga Hut for 3 more weeks, so if you didn't have a chance to see it last night, swing by the Tonga Hut for some drinks and take agander at the art. It's all for sale, too.(Except for Matt Reese's piece, which is for Polynesiac.)

Thanks for the vendors for participating. And thanks to Jeremy for hostiong the art show at the Tonga Hut, Kelly (hiphipahula) for the delicious drinks, Marty Lush for the fun music, and the rest of the Tonga Hut staff who made it such a fun night. And special thanks to everybody that came out and enjoyed the art, the drinks, and the friends (and the big pizzas). Here's some of the art hanging on the walls.

Start off with some ceramics by SQUID.

The radio tubes sticking out of the brains light up,
they got washed out by the flash.

And ceramics by Gogo and Danni.

Some black velvets and some little shrunken heads by Thor.

I think the Tiki-No should buy Stephen Sandoval's painting on the right. :)

The next Tonga Hut mug might have to be the "Severed Jeremy Head"

:lol:

With a special concoction by Kelly to go along with it!

Here's some outdoor vending action...

Bali Hai and The Islander welcome you to Tonga Hut

thanks for including me sir GROG!! stuff looks great!

It was a pretty small turnout compared to previous Tonga Hut art shows. Maybe people were out at other Halloween parties or out trick or treating. October was a REALLY busy month for tiki events, funerals, parties, etc. GROG was inspired by Tikis and Terrors years ago to do this art show. Probably won't do it again next year, but if we do, it'll be BEFORE Halloween.

Swing by and see the art still up at the Tonga Hut if you haven't had a chance to see it yet.

We had a great time!

Great job putting it together Ernie!

The newest member to the Loyal Order Of The Drooling Bastard, Marty Lush finishes the Grog Log with the "ZOMBIE"!!! Quite fitting for Halloween.

Although it was a low turnout, I had a great time,, The art was really awesome.And if you didnt have a chance to stop by on Halloween,The art is still hanging and alot of it is still available to purchase You should defiantly go check it out!!

"I'll Drink to That", 11x17, acrylic on paper. $200.00

It's a crazy collision of two of my obsessions: Tiki and Day of the Dead!

Awesome show, by the way, with some really great pieces! Stop by and check it out while you can!
